Free Music Review: This should be your first Klaus Schulze CD
Hit: 5 Stars
At first, I wasn't too crazy about repurchasing all my favorite CD's of Klaus Schulze all over again, especially since they are now released in cardboard digi-paks, but since "Timewind" was re-released, with an entire extra CD of un-released recordings from that era, I just had to buy "Timewind" again. Actually the box does look pretty nice.
Most people seem to regard "Timewind" as Klaus Schulze's most important album. Yes, I'll have to agree. I love the long atmospheric intentions of these two main tracks, but I never was too crazy about how he ended "Bayreuth Return". You'll be in a soothed ambionic meditative state for nearly half an hour, and then he ends the track with a simulated "crash" which still shakes me up because I'm never prepared for it when it comes. And then "Wannfried 1883", just beautiful from start to finish.
Then, on the second "bonus disc", the first track, "Echoes of Time" definitely continues the mood set of this album. It makes sense that this was never put on an album before because it runs nearly 39 minutes. No vinyl LP was capable of having this because of the time limit restraints of the LP back then. And I'm sure Klaus didn't want to edit it, so maybe it just ended up in a vault on Reel To Reel tapes, hid away for more than 30 years. And then they added two additional lost gems, "Solar Wind" and "Windy Times". It is this additional bonus disc that makes this great album so much more better.
You know, once you buy this CD, you'll probably want to start replacing all your Klaus Schulze CD's because this one is greatly improved.
